paper cubes resultant material
One thing you realize very quickly when working with the laser is that there is a lot of waste.
I do my best to optimize jobs to reduce waste. Pieces are sized according to material available, and space fitting geometric arrangements are developed to allow the most number of pieces in a given material. Still, there is much waste.
The ultimate way to reduce or even eliminate waste is to create designs that use both sides of the cut, where the resultant form is also used. Usually this is intentional, but for the paper tornado, it was a happy accident.
